Kasha
is not only the Russian name of any grain or cereal e.g. buckwheat, semolina,
millet, it also refers to a cooked dish which resembles a porridge or mush.
Although Kasha has been a staple food of peasants for hundreds of years it is
also a dish for special occasions especially feasts which celebrate the
completion of the harvest, weddings and even funerals: all are incomplete
without kasha. 
It
can be sweet or savoury, served at breakfast, as a side dish or even as a
meal in itself. It can be plain or cooked with other ingredients: raw egg can be
stirred into it, onions, mushrooms, stock - in fact, almost anything
can be and has been added to kasha at some time or another. In leaner times if
there wasn't enough meat to go round, it would be chopped finely and
mixed into the kasha so that a small piece of meat would go a long way. All in
all, a very versatile dish.
